Literally 4(4) which is 16 you inbred retards

16, whenever the equation ends up being: (add/sub) or (mult/div) you work left to right

american?

16

Is common core actually a real threat to the future?

Do Americans really...?

fuck you american.

Only retarded americans think its 16

Okay obviously 2+2 goes first since they're in parentheses, but since division and multiplication are of the same priority, we go from left to right in that case instead of multiplying (2+2) and 2, correct? Then it's 16.

It only fucks over americans

>WORLD
>1

>AMERICA
>16

8/2(2+2)=16
8/(2(2+2))=1

That's how people get confused.

uwot?

PEMDAS motherfucker

because apparently only america is taught PEMDAS

correct

Do americans don`t know the parethensis there are used exactly to indicate that should be the first operation to be made?

frog poster + avatar attention whore = dick sucker

THE CORRECT WAY TO WRITE IT YOU FUCKING FAGGOTS.

This is bad notation. The parentheses next to the 2 has tricked everyone who answered 1 into thinking that you need to do that multiplication before doing the division first, when in fact there's no reason that should be the case. I hope this has helped.

An actual math problem would never be written like that for this very reason.

The ÷ sign is not used once you get to algebra for this exact reason.

I’m American and it’s 1

it's like it's intentionally ambigous to troll people or something

There we go.

/thread

These stupid questions are always bait. Any real mathematics would use fractions rather than a division symbol, in which case 8/(2*(2+2)) = 1. but this question isn't asking that, and using PEMDAS 8 ÷ 2(2+2) = 16

Southfag here.
We all know it's 16, the way that people get 1 is outdated as fuck, please stop resolving your operations like that.
Thank you.

Why don't we just put everything in multiple layers of parenthesis' so the order you're intended to solve it is obvious?

For example

8 / (2(2+2))

The only reason its confusing is because it uses that in-line division symbol that you'll never see outside of a pre-algebra textbook. If the division operation was represented as a fraction (as per usual in any meaningful applied mathematics), no one would be confused about what the answer should be.

It's 16. It's fucking 16. I see no reason why it wouldn't be 16. I'm fucking absolutely terrible at math and even I'm fully aware that the answer here is 16.

You should have been taught in high school that you can only add parenthesis if it doesn't change the equation

funny how the world has to band together to stand equal ground with America.

8/2a = 4/a
a = (2+2) =4
4/4 = 1

in america you are taught to solve inside parantheses first
(2+2) = 4
the parentheses are now gone
and then you just do the problem left to right
because Multiplication and Division hold the same prioritized precedence, as do Addition and Subtraction.

in America you could answer this with 16 and it would be considered correct

>people get confused by adding another set of parenthesis that isn't there

If you answer 16 you're a brainlet and please don't take STEM

Yeah, We used ":" to indicate divisions exactly because of that.

Brackets
Orders
Division
Multiplication
Addition
Subtraction

Brackets = (4)
Division = 4
4 (4) = 16

I sincerely hope everybody in this thread is baiting

depends
1 if you multiply the 2 to (2+2) so it's 8/(2(2+2)) or 16 if you go directly left to right so 8/2(2+2). First one used to be the "correct" way, now they use the latter for order of operations without this peculiarity. Only zoomers will tell you its 16. Either way the operation is presented poorly and ambiguously

Nothing ambiguous about retards not knowing or understanding the order of operations

It's 1 why the fuck was this on fox news?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT THE HECKIN CALCURINO

Multiplication does not take priority over division, fuckwit. Just like addition doesn't take priority over subtraction. Once you take care of the parenthesis, you do them in order of writing.

see now fuck off

This isn't true. You skipped the distributive property.

you're trolling

1lets BTFO

When the fuck am I ever gonna use that in real life? Yeah I'd like to order 8÷2(2+2) hamburgers.

My god it scares me how shit some of you are at Math.

That's not how it's written in the OP

NOOOOO
YOU CAN'T DO THAT

This. No different than a poorly written sentence.

But multiplication has priority over addition, so you'd do a distribuitive multiplication

2(2+2) = 2x2 + 2x2 = 8

Then 8 : 8 = 1

Multiplication goes BEFORE Division. It’s PEMDAS

literally put this through any good calculator / programming language and you'll get 16

Precisely, you're terrible at math so you probably never went beyond highschool level. Any real algebra course stops using that type of notation. Most people who go beyond would read the problem as 8/(2(2+2)) when the problem is technically 8/2(2+2).

based

it is true though
even calculators come up with the same answer
because the problem isn't set up properly

That would imply 8 / ( 2(2+2) )
But it wasn't written that way so it's not the same problem.

8 / 2(2+2)
PEMDAS
Parentheses first
8 / 2(4)
Division comes first because division and multiplication take the same precedence
4(4)
Multiply for 16.
Solution is 16.

Multiplication/Division and Addition/Subtraction are on equal levels, you do left to right.
What kind of special ed school did you go to?

>Twitter user @pjmdoll shared a math problem: 8 ÷ 2(2 + 2) = ? Some people got 16 as the answer, and some people got 1. The confusion has to do with the difference between modern and historic interpretations of the order of operations. The correct answer today is 16
t.google

What THE FUCK are they teaching in schools nowadays? Holy shit no wonder zoomers are so retarded.

Or better yet, 8 / 2 * (2 + 2), which is what the problem actually says.

This, what the fuck. Just stop.

holy based

Listen here you little shit. PEMDAS is more like PE(M=D)(A=S)

Computers can only read right to left they dont account for order of operations, so often in mathematics people got it wrong because they relied on this, you need to individually do it like
t.FUCKING COMPUTER SCIENTIST

the way Americans are taught you are not supposed to touch anything outside of the parentheses. so you would do 2+2 THEN do the rest of the equation

Retake 3rd grade. Learn PEMDAS. Then try again

see

Fucking retards keep trying to force it into a fraction when it is written as a pre-algebra division problem.

The answer is 16 with how the problem is written.

8/[2(2+2)] is how I would look at it; inline division is used for teaching children and is not usually used in the upper levels of math, although this comes from an American educational perspective so maybe the Euros do it differently.

when there isnt anything between the bracketed equation and other equation its considered X(times)
4x4=

did your schools teach you wrong on purpose?

If you're a programmer you better know your order of operations.

That's fucking stupid.

D/M and A/S are the same priority. They go left to right
P
E
D/M
A/S
I bet algebra one as a senior was tough for you.

Multiplication and Division are on the same level of importance, so you work them left to right.

you can't even do pemdas right lmao

They just don't know what's first... to add/divide.

This is why rockets explode. I hope you're happy, Zig Forums.

Following simple BOMDAS/BODMAS, start with the Brackets
> 8 / 2 * (2 + 2)
> 8 / 2 * 4
There is no Order/Of functions so move to MD, Multiplication & Division, these have no hierarchy in terms of Multiplication or Division overruling one another so we follow Left to Right rules.
> 8 / 2 * 4
> 4 * 4
> 16

>teacher chews me out and says I'm not listening
>give up on math because I'm afraid to ask for help

That's the point. It's a common dumb trap using basically the math version of vague wording to try and lure people into making an assumption.

It's also specifically designed to fuck with people that learned PEMDAS but don't remember it properly (or were taught it wrongly) and think Multiplication ALWAYS comes before division instead of having equal priority.

It's 16 did you retards fail 3rd grade math?

Did you lose track of your own insults

are you me?

8/2(2+2) = 16
8/(2(2+2)) = 1

When would you unironically need to know this in real life? What field would problems like this come in use?

I'm seriously asking because I've always wondered.

Math teachers tend to be more bitter and mean than teachers of other subjects for some reason.

Because you share a classroom with niggers
